I was listening to Magma's Kobaia album earlier tonight and it did not kill me (???). The music is actually surprisingly enjoyable. Good fusion with something strange avant-garde madness thrown into the mix.

Last year, Soft Machine was a barrier I needed to break. In 2010, I will crack Magma. In 2011, I will crack Westlife......... although that maybe a Himalayan mountain too high for me.

koenjihiyakkei's Angherr Shisspa is excellent, although weird. if you like jazz, you'll like zeul given enough time. this album has a couple moments where my jaw just dropped. awesome.

Weidorje - Self Titled


Jannick Top - Machina



Both Magma related, and both phenomenal. Mr. Top's album is probably as "doom metal" as Zeuhl gets, so I dig it.

In 2005, Magma came out with a Japanese "karaoke" release of KA, titled Orkestraahl KA. This CD has been very difficult to find outside of Japan. Well, now Japanese YouTube uploader UniweriaZekt has uploaded this CD to YouTube. And, it sounds pretty good through my headphones.

I don't exactly understand why people like this genre...and it's tough to throw an entire genre under the bus, but it seems to be a genre of music for times you only kind of want to listen to music.

Either 2010 or early 2011 is what Alain told me when I emailed him about a couple other titles on the label.  Either way, I'm really excited about this one.

It's a well established fact that Zeuhl makes you a total babe magnet. It's only natural for there to be a little jealousy from some of the other sub genres.

Better start than everything named before. I adore Magma, but Eskaton is far more accessible.
 
Have to admit that I never thought of Magma as not accessible.
 
Nobody said that Carl Orff (Carmina Burana specially) was not accessible either.
 
I always gave music it's fair audience and court. By that I mean, listen to it on its on, not with something else in mind. The end result is an experience. Magma, for me, is ALL about experience and a lot less about "Zeuhl" or anything else. And the choral orchestration of a lot of that work is amazing to say the least and I am not sure that there even exist enough vocalists that would even try that!
 
And it is a massive credit that they can still do it and have you get up off your seat at the end ... and all you can say is ... WOW ... you simply will never see anything in music, so different, so well done, and so inspiring as an evening of this. But if your mind is set that you have to hear something or other, then Magma is not for you. You don't come to any zeuhl (god what a term!) with preconceived notions since the majority of it is not designed in conventional music idioms at all.  And these folks know it!
 
I remember the very first time I heard it - around 1974. I had known Carmina Burana for 10 years already, so when I heard it, done with a guitar, drums and bass ... I went ... wow ... that is far out!    For me, unlike most here, it was a come alive of a musical tradition into the modern age ... our generation has really done it! And explored and expanded the music into levels that are very important, and need to be better explained and understood so we can validate its history!
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Syz ... this could be a problem. I think that we should categorize this better. They can have the babes and the chicks in the other kiddie sub-genres!  .... and we get all the real women! And true appreciators of music too!

Nice video from Magma's very recent Japanese tour:



The first two minutes are Japanese TV studio chat. From here (the comments are interesting, too).

Boy, do I love this band or what. Hearing Stella's singing over the sweet melody of Felicite Thosz instantly brought tears to my eyes (not a metaphor). It's been 5 months already since I last seen them, way too much for such an addiction Cry
